Background and approach
Her approach combines several evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people in clarifying values and taking actions that matter, even when anxiety is present.
Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used to build emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Dr. Horowitz draws on five years of counseling experience in diverse settings.
She addresses a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, depression, panic, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and ADHD among others. Her work also touches on fertility issues, veteran and first responder challenges, and coping after disasters. Therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Language of service is English and sessions are provided within Virginia.
How specific approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when anxiety or painful feelings show up. It is useful for stress, life transitions, and ongoing worry. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce panic, depression, and avoidance. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus during moments of distress.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and daily life to decide whether ACT, CBT, mindfulness tools, or a mix will work best. Goals are set together and adjusted as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation and shared worksheets. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit brief check-ins, homework review, or ongoing skill practice into a busy schedule.
